Where does The Black Witch rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks about in the above average.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Black Witch?

I liked the character building and the way the main character grows and matures.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

At times I found it a little slow - feel that too much time is spent on the main character lamenting about her non-power. I like it much better more toward the end where the action happens much quicker.

Would you try another book from J. D. Robb and/or Susan Ericksen?

Yes normally I really enjoy her books.

Would you ever listen to anything by J. D. Robb again?

Yes, although I'm a little disappointed that these get a little to explicitly violent lately. I love the series I have read all of them thus far so will give it one more try.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Girl on the Train to be better than the print version?

I didn't read it in print. I enjoyed the audio because I got the added advantage of having it read with British accents which gets you into the spirit of the book from the start.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes - it continued to draw me in!!

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

All the narrator's did an excellent job.

Any additional comments?

The author has a very good grasp of the subject of alcoholism and the effects of blackouts! Also the way the author gets into the details of life is very real.

Bitten Audiobook By Kelley Armstrong cover art

Great Story - good performance

What made the experience of listening to Bitten the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the plot and the narrator did a very good job of interpreting the characters. Each character had their own unique voice and accent. The plot did get a little bogged down in places by seemingly monotonous monologue but in the end it was worth slugging through the slow places. I find that the author tends to do this in all her books - wish that could change in the future because I really do enjoy the stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Elena and Clay

What about Aasne Vigesaa’s performance did you like?

Yes, I thought she was excellent.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I enjoyed Elena's personal discoveries and development of her character.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Too much violence for me from the get go. Did not listen to it after about an hour. Performance was good but story wasn't.

What made the experience of listening to Presumption of Guilt the most enjoyable?

The story is captivating. It kept me engaged from the beginning.

The narrator is good on the female voices but the male voices are lacking in authenticity and all males seem to sound similar and even the same.

What other book might you compare Presumption of Guilt to and why?

Not sure.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tanya Eby?

I would cast Jennifer Ikeda. She has an amazing variety of voices that she can do especially male voices and accents.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I liked all of it.

Any additional comments?

It's a great read. I would also recommend reading her first book Unitended Consequences. It's just as good.

If you could sum up Shadow of Night in three words, what would they be?

Couldn't stop listening! I listen to it in the car and I found myself creating things to do that would require driving long distances so that I could listen to it. If you want something that grabs your imagination and heart listen to this series!

What did you like best about this story?

All of it!!

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Ikeda’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Jennifer's performance is one of the best in audiobooks that I have heard. She is able to create each character uniquely with differing acsents that make you believe there are different performers narrating. She definitely brings "life" to the series!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes definitelyl.

What did you love best about The Book of Life?

I loved all of it.

Have you listened to any of Jennifer Ikeda’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to any of Jennifer Ikeda's performance before. I love how she changes acsents for each of the characters and perfectly portrays them as I imaged them. I also read the hardcopy of this book and preferred to listen to it because she brought life to each of the characters which my imagination did not.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It definitely made me cry and laugh. I hope this entire series is made into a movie. It is so suspenseful I couldn't stop listening/reading!!

Any additional comments?

Please please make this into a movie series!! It is one of most exciting series I have read in a very long time. I haven't been able to find another that grabs my attention like this one! It's funny I couldn't wait to get to the end and now that I've finished it, I'm in mourning that it's over.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Discovery of Witches to be better than the print version?

Did not read print version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Discovery of Witches?

Love the historical background as well as the build up of characters!

What about Jennifer Ikeda’s performance did you like?

Her voice is very enjoyable to listen to as well as her changing of characters acsents is very believable and well executed.

Any additional comments?

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery and love story. There are just a few places where I think it goes a little slow - a little too much detail but overall it is a really exciting plot and moves along at a good pace. It made me want to get in the car and drive since I am listening to it in my car!!
